Educate in the marketplace

Challenging the
conventional way of
doing business isn’t easy.

Educating your customers about how they should be doing business with you is definitely not easy. But empowering your customers to obtain a reciprocal benefit just makes good business sense.

At The Money School we believe that by empowering your customer we will not only improve your bottom line but increase repeat business. We also help companies increase their customer payment culture, whilst assisting with critical legislative compliance – such as the incoming ‘Treat Customers Fairly’ and existing Corporate Social Responsibility and Training legislative requirements.

The Money School is a results-driven company and looks forward to working closely with your business in order to maximise the impact on your bottom line. Our experience has shown this to be a win-win formula as it fast tracks our ability to equip your customers with the appropriate financial literacy education and skills and in return can be commercially attractive for a number of reasons:

How To Treat Customers Fairly

According to the Roadmap, Treat Customers Fairly programmes must be strategically driven from the top, and it specifically mentions consumer education and financial literacy levels.

One of the primary reasons for introducing a TCF framework in South Africa is the asymmetry of information between retail financial services consumers and financial institutions. The only way to reduce the asymmetry is through increasing consumers’ financial literacy levels.

Firms who consistently and demonstrably deliver on their TCF commitments will also attract proportionally less regulatory scrutiny than their riskier competitors.

Treat Customers Fairly Roadmap

A financially literate customer is a great customer. They’re more likely to understand the need for your product and service offering, and pay more, timeously, to ensure
that those needs are met.
